Rising Latino Leaders

Although U.S. Latinos are the nation's fastest-growing talent pool, they're underrepresented in management and face slow upward mobility. In response, SMU Cox Executive Education has collaborated with senior executives from the Latino Leadership Initiative's corporate sponsors to develop the Rising Latino Leaders Program.

This innovative experience prepares participants for success in their first managerial positions and equips them to progress into higher levels of responsibility. Over four and a half days, practical interactive learning experiences, individual assessments and interaction with experienced Latino senior managers help strong individual contributors and supervisors make the transition to dynamic senior leaders.
